Logistics & Distribution Archives - Australian Sweeper Company

ASC is the leading provider of industrial cleaning equipment solutions for the warehousing and logistics industry.

With over 28 years of experience, our team is on hand to help advise the best product to suit your needs whether your business requires a ride-on scrubber machine or walk-behind sweepers.

For instance, ASC recently helped DG Mainstream Warehousing Services in Rocklea, Brisbane in the search for an industrial cleaner.

The company has a large warehouse which boasts high roller doors. With trucks coming in and out on a daily basis, the site would easily become polluted and laden with dust – a huge headache for staff members.

To combat the issue, ASC recommended the ASC Eureka M3 battery sweeper. One of Australia and New Zealand’s best-selling sweepers, the device is renowned for its minimal maintenance costs and downtime.

Now, the site is kept incredibly clean by staff members with minimum effort required leaving a great first impression for visitors and clients alike.

Another happy client worth mentioning is Cameron Interstate, a leading Australian transport company that specialises in freight services and retail sectors.

The business recently purchased the ASC Eureka M6 sweeper, as it proved to be the most affordable option in terms of running and maintenance costs. A versatile high-dump sweeper, the industrial cleaner is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments with a maintenance-free dust filtration system.
